A review was undertaken of 100 patients with 218 surgically-treated syndactylies operated upon over a ten year period. The pre-operative factors which influenced the result of surgical treatment were the complexity of the syndactyly and the presence of other congenital abnormalities in the hand. The operative factor which most influenced outcome was the type of skin-graft used. 42 patients required at least one secondary operation to obtain an acceptable result, comprising 22% who developed web creep and 26% a significant flexion contracture; five patients developed both a contracture and web creep. In contrast, the type of flap used to reconstruct the web floor had little influence on the result.

Histological Criteria

It is uncommon for extramammary tumors to metastasize to the breast, and very few cases describing metastasis of primary uterine leiomyosarcoma to the breast have been reported. We present the case of a 51-year-old woman diagnosed with metastasis of uterine leiomyosarcoma to the breast diagnosed 10 years ago after hysterectomy. Ultrasonography, mammography, and cytology were used to establish a preliminary diagnosis that was confirmed upon examination of the excised tumor that show a rare soft tissue tumor composed of atypical spindle cells and increased proliferation rate. We discuss the importance of distinguishing between various primary mesenchymal tumors of the breast because of phenotypic overlap and some guidance of the histological criteria for metastasis of leiomyosarcoma, as well as differential diagnosis and surgical treatment.

The article presents a clinical case of successful surgical treatment of a patient with isolated metastasis of uterine leiomyosarcoma to the head of the pancreas 3 years after the removal of the primary tumor. A pancreatectomy with immunohistochemical examination was performed. The patient was examined 6 months after the operation. There are no signs of a relapse of the disease.

Scanning Electron

The recent development of the scanning electron microscope has added great impetus to the study of ultrastructural details of normal human ossicles. A thorough description of the ultrastructure of the human ossicles is required in order to determine changes associated with disease processes following medical or surgical treatment.Human stapes crura were obtained at the time of surgery for clinical otosclerosis and from human cadaver material. The specimens to be examined by the scanning electron microscope were fixed immediately in the operating room in a cold phosphate buffered 2% gluteraldehyde solution, washed with Ringers, post fixed in cold 1% osmic acid and dehydrated in graded alcohol. Specimens were transferred from alcohol to a series of increasing concentrations of ethyl alcohol and amyl acetate. The tissue was then critical point dried, secured to aluminum stubs and coated with gold, approximately 150A thick on a rotating stage in a vacuum evaporator. The specimens were then studied with the Kent-Cambridge S4-10 Scanning Electron Microscope at an accelerating voltage of 20KV.
